Tech industry analysts continued predicting the death of Yahoo, an Internet giant whose competitors have outshined it in almost every fashion.

Following reports Yahoo would sell its Internet business, the company said it would explore breaking itself into three different operations, while keeping its stake in Chinese e-commerce leader Alibaba. The move will make it easier to sell its Internet business.

Meanwhile, speculation ran rampant about the future of embattled CEO Marissa Mayer. Mayer's only announcement during the late-year turmoil? She gave birth to twins.
